I love Dr. Schulze and not the footwear….

To some…Dr. Schulze would be considered a health fantatic!  To me…he is RIGHT ON!  I’ve tried much of his stuff and all of them to date have worked.  I love his NO NONSENSE approach and belief in the human body and it’s ability to heal.  Check him out.  www.herbdocblog.com

Need a little more POTASSIUM?

Our diets of processed foods has greatly disturbed our natural ratio of sodium and potassium.  We all worry about our sodium intake but fail to realize that we are becoming very potassium deficient.  Aldosterone is the hormone that controls potassium and magnesium excretion and sodium retention.  Aldosterone is suppressed in the presence of potassium deficiency or sodium excess.

Parsley, Spinach and asparagus are great foods to add to your meals especially if you are feeling bloated.

Do you Respect your Health?

Why do we not RESPECT the health of our bodies like we should?   Is it because our bodies can take so much abuse and yet still function well?  Because they can re-boot pretty quickly and get us back in working order after an illness or accident?  Even though we continue to feed it badly, not give it the rest it needs or allow it the exercise it was designed to use, it still does it best to work for us in an amazing way every moment of every day…..UNTIL it can do no more.  We are completely startled when the body sends up its RED FLAG and says…”No more, I just can’t do it “no more ,no more, no more, no more”!  Then what?  Do we look for the miracle pill or drug?  The magic surgery?  When the devastating news is delivered….then what?  We start to pay closer attention but now we are climbing UPHILL.  Most TV ads tell us not to worry…there is a PILL for every problem…even some you can take BEFORE the problem becomes a problem.  With a simple but effective shift in your thinking process….you can begin to take back charge of your health and your life.  The food you eat, the thoughts you think, the stress you deal with, the sleep you make sure you get, the supplements you take, the JUNK and chemicals you avoid IS your magic pill.  STAND UP and take control back of your life and health.   It can redefine your life experience.  Your body will begin the process of correction as you begin to fuel it with the nutrients it needs.  We have to be OPEN to change.  Open to returning to a more natural mode of life with fewer toxins poured into us on a daily basis.  Stick with me…YOUR HOLISTIC GURU and we will open the doors to change together….change for a new YOU…a New Day….A life worth living.

What’s the first step you take for good health?

What is the first step in achieving and maintaining good health?  It is taking responsibility for your own health and NOT relying on the medical industry to do it for you and to make all your health decisions!  After all…..Those who are well, don’t need a physician.”

As Dr. Timothy Brantley says….If we are the CAUSE….then WE are the Cure!

What does GOOD HEALTH mean to you?

What does GOOD HEALTH mean to you personally?

The World Health Organization defines it as a state of complete physical, mental and social well being.  Pretty good, huh?  To me….Good Health is NOT just the absence of disease but total FREEDOM to live the life I want to live.  Dis-ease cost money and time, energy and certainly FREEDOM.  Good Health means doing what I want to do when I want to do it with rare exception.  Vitality…feeling youthful at any age, still feeling excitement about life in general.  Being healthy simply feels GREAT~

Your Body was Created to HEAL

You were designed to re-design.  Whatever dis-ease you are dealing with right now……use your lack of health to encourage you and urge you on to CHANGE IT.  Re-name your disease right now to imbalance.  Our bodies are faithful to give us excellent clues long before they break down completely.  PAY ATTENTION to what your body is telling you.  Chronic acne or pimples, colds, infections, digestive problems, low sex drive, yeast infections, all these are warning signals of imbalance in our bodies.  We take more drugs, perhaps drink more alcohol to feel sexy and the imbalances get deeper.

Don’t live with unnecessary limitations.  YOU have the power to change your dis-ease.  Take charge of your health.  No one knows your body like you do…not a MD or anyone else.

CHALLENGE FOR TODAY

Take your most annoying, most problematic problem or state of dis-ease and begin to say this outloud:

As of today I am renaming my dis-ease from ______________________ to a state of imbalance in my body. 

Whether is is the dreaded cancer word or a bad cold or flu…you will remove the power it has over you.  You will reduce the problem to a manageable size.  After all…..all problems are truly just that…an imbalance in our body.  Imbalances happen all the time and it takes the same sequence of healthy life changes to make a difference.

INCONTINENCE

INCONTINENCE: So many will suffer without asking for help.  After you’ve ruled out the need for surgery…try this:  Cut down or out caffeine and alcohol first- both are irritants to the bladder and alcohol causes the muscles to weaken – since weak pelvic floor muscles are a problem with incontinence…give this a try first.  Both are diuretics and produce more urine.  Aspartame (fake sugar) irritates the bladder as well.  Cut it out and see the difference in so many areas of your life.  Drink more pure water to cleanse but sip it throughout the day vs. drinking whole bottle at once.  KEGELS – do them…they actually will strengthen your pelvic muscles!  Practice the URGE STRATEGY- When you get the urge to pee…STOP what you’re doing and stay put.  Sit down when possible or stand quietly.  Remain very still.  Squeeze your pelvic floor muscles quickly several times but don’t fully relax between contractions.  Relax the rest of your body.  Breathe…concentrate on suppressing the urge.  Wait until urge goes away.  Walk to bathroom at normal pace (NO RUNNING J) Continue squeezing while you walk (no matter what you look like)…do this each time the urge strikes and you can re-train your muscles.  Muscles retrain…do they not?
